Alex Koppleman of Salon has a video up about the recent flap over Hillary Clinton's "woman's baby died because of evil heathcare industry" anecdote. Koppleman makes a good point that it is surprising that people on the Left would trust the word of a hospital CEO more than they would trust Clinton, a member of the same left. And he is very even-handed in this; I have no truck with Koppleman's basic premise.
My point is, if so many folks on the left now doubt Clinton's veracity as their default position, how on Earth is she going to convince swing voters in the general election? How can she continue to try to make the electability argument when her word is doubted by her own supporters?
I've said again and again that I think Clinton is unelectable in the general. If this doesn't prove it, what the heck will?
